Chapter 36: Military Training (2)
In fact, Chen Xiuwen has long looked down on some training methods in this era, including those of German instructors. To put it in the fashionable words of later generations, some German training methods are not suitable for China's national conditions. When he was in a military academy, Chen Xiuwen dared not change or mention it. But in the long run, he is now the boss and can make the decision, so Chen Xiuwen has to take action.
The change in Zhang Zhengjie's attitude shows that he has begun to accept the reality of Chen Xiuwen as the company commander in his heart. As for Huang Likui, Cheng Dean is naturally responsible.
Since everyone has a unified understanding of the training plan, Chen Xiuwen has introduced a complete set of evaluation and reward and punishment measures for training results. All training results are calculated in units of classes. Later generations of Chen Xiuwen especially advocated the classic battle to seize the German artillery position in "Brothers Company". This battle vividly interprets the importance of overall coordination, from snipers, fire support, frontal breakthrough ammunition delivery, and blasting is all-in-one. Therefore, the calculation of results in units of classes, Chen Xiuwen is to cultivate the soldiers' team consciousness. After all, modern warfare is no longer personal heroism, but requires close cooperation from the team.
In terms of reward and punishment measures, every morning, the last class will be punished without breakfast, and the platoon leader of the class will also be punished. After the daytime training, the company commander and three platoon leaders will conduct the assessment together, and the class with the best performance on the day will be selected and the dinner with a meat dish.
The meeting was held once a weekend, and the confrontation drills for each project were conducted based on the class. The last three not only canceled their vacations, but also were responsible for cleaning the toilets for a week. Shen Xiuwen personally paid for the class with the first place in total, and rewarded him with ten yuan.
Seeing this evaluation and reward and punishment measure, the last bit of brothers below Zhang Zhengjie and Huang Likui will have no worries about this training plan.
Chen Xiuwen immediately ordered Ma Congping to write the training plan, evaluation, reward and punishment measures into a notice and announce it to the entire company, and the illiterate ones were collected and read out by Ma Congping.
However, when illiterate soldiers gathered together, Chen Xiuwen was really shocked. In this era, most of the soldiers were farmers, and nearly 90% of the soldiers were illiterate, which also made Chen Xiuwen feel the importance of adding cultural learning to training. In fact, when Chen Xiuwen was formulating a plan, he changed the ideological and political education of the People's Liberation Army in the future to cultural learning.
Chen Xiuwen immediately stated that all illiterate soldiers organized a cultural study class, with the company clerk Ma Congping as the teacher to learn to recognize words and simple addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
Once the notice was announced, although the soldiers were afraid of such a heavy training plan, they later heard that they had good training results not only added food every day but also had ten yuan per week, and they also had ten yuan rewards. Originally, they were all farmers and were very hard-working. It was nothing to do with training harder. What’s important is that good training results not only include delicious food, but also rewards. You should know that ten yuan is enough to allow brothers in a class to go out for a big meal.
At six o'clock the next morning, when the wake-up call sounded, Chen Xiuwen was already standing upright on the playground. The gathering on the first day undoubtedly disappointed Chen Xiuwen. Although the 88th Division is an absolute elite in the Central Army, it is still one level worse than the teaching team of the Central Military Academy. It took him ten minutes to assemble fully armed. This made Chen Xiuwen feel that it is very necessary to add the emergency assembly to the training plan.
The first day of the five-kilometer armed cross-country was considered to be the first day of training, and Chen Xiuwen also wanted to use this to find out and did not conduct a performance evaluation. However, in addition to the three platoon leaders of Cheng Dean, Zhang Zhengjie and Huang Likui, there were more than a dozen veteran squad leaders. The others had already fallen off the team halfway. Chen Xiuwen and Cheng Dean were used to running, so they took a few breaths, just like nothing happened, but Zhang Zhengjie and others were not able to do it. Once they reached the finish line, they all fell to the ground.
Not only five kilometers of off-roading, but the training was carried out, except for the poor team training, the rest did not meet the lowest standard in Chen Xiuwen's mind. Chen Xiuwen couldn't help but sigh, no wonder at the beginning of the War of Resistance against Japan, the casualties ratio between the enemy and us was very high, and even a brigade of the Japanese army would dare to pursue a division of the home country army. The elite 88th Division was like this, let alone those miscellaneous troops. It seems that apart from the equipment gap, human factors are probably the most important.
Chen Xiuwen and Cheng Dean, who had the best comprehensive quality, had to act as instructors again. In the first week, Chen Xiuwen was exhausted every day. It was not until Chen Xiuwen went to the regiment headquarters to repeatedly beg Zhu Chi that he brought Tang Lin, the new spy company leader, to a platoon leader, to a company that he had temporarily served as instructor for two weeks, which made him feel relieved.
However, several good seedlings were found during training, especially Peng Hui, the fifth squad leader of the second platoon. He was the only veteran among the three squad leaders of the second platoon who was not a veteran in the Battle of Shanghai in the whole company. What surprised Chen Xiuwen was that he was actually a Red Army soldier. He was captured during the fifth anti-encirclement and suppression period and participated in the National Army. With good kung fu, he actually tied with Cheng Dean, the ninth-phase fighting king of the Central Military Academy. In the aftermath of Cheng Dean, if he taught him a few more fatal fighting skills on the battlefield, Cheng Dean would not be his opponent at all.
Chen Xiuwen was very curious about Peng Hui. In the past, he often heard that only the Kuomintang army participated in the Red Army after being captured, but he had never heard that the Red Army also surrendered to the Kuomintang army. Moreover, Peng Hui's cultural level is not low. Like Ma Congping, the clerk in the company, he graduated from junior high school and was a senior intellectual who could rank in the top five in the company. Such people should be valued in the Red Army, so how could they join the National Army? After asking, I realized that Peng Hui was quite not simple. He also served as the company commander in the Red Army, but because the Soviet area was opened, he found out that Peng Hui was quite not simple. During the war and anti-counterfeiting movement, the Peng Hui family belonged to the landlord class at that time, and unfortunately became the target of the anti-counterfeiting. Originally, he should have been shot, but the Red Army failed in its fifth anti-encirclement and suppression. Peng Hui was captured before he could be shot, so Peng Hui simply joined the National Army and was later added to the 88th Division. At the beginning, Peng Hui was the platoon leader of the first platoon platoon leader. Because he couldn't stand the deduction of military pay from his brothers at that time, he beat the company commander in anger. After the incident broke out, the company commander was dismissed from his post and was demoted to the squad leader.
Moreover, Peng Hui not only had good fist skills, but also had great power when dancing with a big sword. This made Chen Xiuwen feel like he was a treasure. He immediately appointed Peng Hui as the deputy platoon leader of the second platoon and assisted Cheng De'an in fighting and big sword training. For this reason, Chen Xiuwen also paid out of his own pocket to create a big sword for every brother in the company. From then on, the first corps became a unique scenic spot for the 88th Division. In addition to the necessary equipment, each soldier carried a big sword.
As time goes by, the continuous training has finally gradually begun to be regular. The first thing that shows is the five-kilometer cross-country, from the beginning that most people can't run, to the end. From the beginning, they don't know how to cooperate and help the group, and fight for each other. After a few times, they just run first and have no breakfast, they gradually learn to encourage and help each other and run together, and they don't even need to teach them.
In addition, while Chen Xiuwen combined geotechnical training, he created a four-hundred-meter obstacle course in a corner of the playground. He climbed over the wall, crossed a single-plank bridge, climbed high, and crawled. At first, the soldiers were quite new, but after the first formal training, he only had the defense line. It turned out that this thing was running four times in a group and was even more tiring than a five-kilometer cross-country trip.
When the training of 400-meter obstacle running really started, those veterans who had experienced the battle realized that the training of 400-meter obstacle running is not only the best way to advance on the battlefield, but also can avoid the huge casualties caused by blind charges.
It was only at this time that Zhang Zhengjie realized that although Chen Xiuwen was much younger than him, the two were not at the same heavyweight level. Even Huang Likui, who had been holding on to him and clamoring to squeeze Chen Xiuwen away, after having a fight with Cheng De'an, he did not hide his admiration for Cheng De'an in front of Zhang Zhengjie. At this point, Zhang Zhengjie's heart of fighting against the company commander was completely dead, and he honestly led his own row into training.
